"I share my art immediately ’cause I want my fans and folks to see the little light and hope. Washing The Earth came to me on a plane as the beginning of this pandemic was unraveling. The String of Friends came to me while I slept and I got to it immediately one morning. Then You Rock came to me as I was listening to classic rock and it made me smile, as I’ve also been practicing guitar during this time. Thanks For Being You came to me one morning while I was meditating. Some ideas pop then, which is nice. I was sitting in a sunny spot in my home and I felt warm and comforted by the sun––I envisioned little me going up on a ladder near the sun and wanting it right near me to fill me with that light it makes me feel. Hope actually is the oldest of this bunch. I believe I drew it maybe over a month ago."
